fucking bargnani cost us this game. after weeks of screaming for him to be benched so our team could flourish without his cancer he still found a way to put up only zeros. it's almost like it's a team sport and he is a problem and not the problem. hopefully he isn't injured and there is a trade brewing in the background.

anyone know why he didn't play? a benching seems a bit drastic after his shooting game last time out.

Our defense late in the first and the second quarters of the game was the best ive seen it all season. Ross was a part of it as well, which was nice to see. I thought we played ALOT better without Bargnani, though I don't understand why Kleiza took all of Bargs' usual shots. Its like the team now has a habit of lazily feeding the long 2pt shot.

And don't even get me started on Amir taking those shots, as if he were a spot-up guy.

Not exact but pretty sure that's over 26 million. Do you know how trades work? Who are you expecting back in this type of deal?

I know how trades match up thank you very much. I would be very willing to take in assets along with (makes me cringe), a large contract. Gasol, Gay, Smith. These guys' contracts take most, if not half the sending value, along with assets/picks whatsoever.

Calderon has an expiring 10$ million at the end of the season, not to mention a very solid contributor for a contender. A guy like Bargnani, heading to a contender could be the very 3rd/4th option offensive piece, while Amir is able to solidify any front-court. Second round picks valuable as well, being able to draft guys, and whether or not they work out well, they are not qualified for guaranteed contracts unlike a 1st rounder.

Yes, $26 million seems like a lot, but like I said, it would help any team over the tax with the expiring $10 million. On the court, Bargnani, Jose, Amir can bring some contributions to any given team.
